Re: How to make a local file show up as received fax?

Hi Richard,

There is a way, but it would require some scripting that would need to 
get done.

Ghostscript can convert your PDFs to TIFF (HylaFAX's 
bin/common-functions file has some shell script functions that could be 
leveraged for this), and from there you'd use a libtiff tool called 
"tiffset" to set various TIFF tags onto the TIFF file in order for it to 
appear to HylaFAX as if it were received via fax.  Then you would invoke 
faxrcvd on that TIFF file as faxgetty would do.

Thanks,

Lee.
